Does the swagger of a sure-footed butch make you swoon? Do your knees go weak when you see a femme straighten her stockings? A duet between two sorts of women, butch/femme is a potent sexual dynamic. Tristan Taormino chose her favorite butch/femme stories from the Best Lesbian Erotica series, which has sold over 200,000 copies in the 16 years she was editor. And if you think you know what goes in in the bedroom between femmes and butches, these 22 shorts will delight you with erotic surprises. In Joy Parks's delicious Sweet Thing," the new femme librarian in town shows a butch baker a new trick in bed. The stud in "Tag!," by D. Alexandria, finds her baby girl after a chase in the woods by scent alone. And the girl in a pleated skirt gets exactly what she wants from herDaddy in Peggy Munson's "The Rock Wall." Sometimes She Lets Me shows that it's all about attitude - predicting who will wind up on top isn't easy in stories by S. Bear Bergman, Rosalind Christine Lloyd, Samiya A. Bashir, and many more."

This is a wonderful and fairly diverse collection, with a lot of really thoughtful pieces on gender identity, sexual identity, sex and power, and of course really titillating lesbian sex. I'm new to lesbian erotica and would definitely recommend this as an introduction to the genre.

Kindle Version has problemsJune 17 2011

The Kindle version of this book has no Table of Contents. There is no way to know who wrote each story. If you want to skip to the next story you have to do it page by page. If you want to locate a friend's story among all the stories you can't do this. This would be simple in a real book. It seems that if Amazon is going to charge more than nine dollars for a book in which they don't even invest in hard copy pages or artwork they could at least provide an interactive Table of Contents. This book is a Lammy winner and Kindle does not do it justice. At this rate, books have nothing to fear from the e-book versions; hard copy books are still way ahead.

HOT!Dec 2 2010

As a self-identified femme and lover of all masculine-identified/butch/trans queers for the past 10 years, I'm always on the hunt for decent butch/femme erotica. My erotica book collection is extremely extensive, so I feel like I've read enough lesbian erotica to know a good book when I read one... and this one really delivers. I was so happy to find this book! My gf and I are on our second time of reading it. There's a good variety of scenarios, of characters, and of hot sex. You won't be disappointed.

Breaking Stereotypes and Turning Us OnAug. 15 2011

By
TammyJo Eckhart
- Published on Amazon.com

Format: Paperback

In the world of erotic literature it can be so difficult to tell a new story. Yet here were have a collection from Tristan Taormino where the vast majority of the 23 stories offer us a new twist or an entirely new look at the butch/femme dynamic.

This is a real dynamic, not merely a porn vision for men by men. Gender, after all, is not innately connected to our biological sex and in a world where het is the norm, it should never surprise us that lesbian might also find that "opposites" attract.

The tales are told with passion and with realism at the same time. Getting us into the characters heads even if we as the reader are not the target audience. For me, five stories were the cream of the crop in this anthology starting right off with Alison L. Smith's "Sometimes She Lets Me". Joy Parks' "Sweet Thing" and Amie M. Evans' "Anonymous" kept the insights and arousal flowing.

Slightly later pieces from Kristen Porter ("Night Crawler") and D. Alexandria ("Tag!" were brilliant. And then things slowed down for me in the collection. The other stories were good but really not as well crafted as these five though none disappointed.

This was a stand out collection for 2010 and is deserving of your consideration or your borrowing of a friend's copy.

A little something for everyoneFeb. 7 2014

Format: Kindle Edition

As a Butch loving Femme sub the nature of this book was appealing. I enjoyed a few of the Butch on Femme stories. This book is composed of a variety of dynamics: Butch/Femme, Butch/Butch, Butch/Futch, Daddy/Baby girl. Also there are a few BDSM stories. Overall the quality of authors is good. My only hang up was the use of male terms threw me for a few and one of the daddy/Baby girl stories was bordering so far on the side of sounding like abuse rather than adult roleplaythat I was very put off. Other than that, I would definitely say this book has a little something for everyone.
